The Fez will be flooded with metalheads when Riot on Summer: Alternative/Metal Night returns to the Moroccan restaurant on Thursday, Aug. 28.

The third installment in the monthly series will feature performances from The Grape and the Grain, a touring band from Kingston, N.Y., and Stamford's Mantyhose. DJ Flash will be spinning music from, among others, Janes Addiction, Metallica, Tool, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Liege Lord.

"I am really trying to create a cool environment for the alt/metal scene in our area," said Anthony Quinn Carpanzano, the vocalist and guitarist of Mantyhose and organizer of the event. "All in all, it's a really cool vibe for anyone into the alternative and metal scene and all walks of life."

Carpanzano added that the tables and chairs in front of the stage will be removed "to provide for some headbanging and fist-pumping."
